‘Hogyoku’ is a compact tree that typically matures to 15-18′ tall and to 12-15′ wide. It is particularly noted for its unusual and attractive brilliant pumpkin orange fall color. Each palmate leaf has seven serrate, moderately-cut lobes (divided 1/2 way to the leaf base). Leaves are green throughout the growing season until fall. Cultivar name from Japanese means jewel.

Description

Easily grown in moist, organically rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Grows well in sandy loams. May be grown in full sun in the northern parts of its growing range, but prefers at least some afternoon shade in the southern parts (including Durham) of its growing range. New foliage may scorch in full sun locations in hot summer areas, particularly if soils are not kept consistently moist. Mulch helps retain soil moisture and keep roots cool. Site in locations protected from strong winds. Avoid hot and dry sites. Fertilize in spring before leaves emerge. Pruning is best kept to a minimum, but if needed should be done in late fall to mid winter. Spring or summer pruning often results in significant bleeding.
